"I don't know why you're so biased against her. She interviewed you and spent time with you know better than me what kind of person she is?"
you.
Shouldn't
"It's precisely because she had interviewed me before that I know how unreliable she is. We've been working together for almost half a month, and she hasn't even submitted a draft to me. Do you think that's the action of a reliable reporter?
"Sherman, I have my reasons for saying what I said about Rita. If she were really as good as you say, why would she be so careless about her work? The fact is that she's just a spoiled girl who relies on her father. Now that you've appeared in her life, of course she'll try to please you for her father's sake."
Sherman instinctively wanted to defend Rita. She worked so hard on her interviews and materials; it was impossible for her not to submit any drafts for so long. Perhaps there were other issues with the handover of work.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
However, when he met Claire's gaze, he suddenly did not want to say anything. He knew he would only dig himself deeper into the hole. Nothing he said would matter if Claire had made up her mind about Rita's character.
He no longer felt like watching the movie. If possible, he just wanted to leave.
Claire gazed at him with her big, teary eyes, and tried to persuade him further. "Don't you remember the first time she lied to you about getting the seat I reserved for you? How can such a habitual liar be straightforward?"
"Alright, let's stop talking about her. We came here to watch a movie, didn't we?"
Sherman's tone was flat. He really did not want to continue discussing Rita with Claire. However, when Claire persisted, his voice suddenly became serious. "We came here to watch a movie. There's no need to discuss her anymore."
"You-fine, fine, let's not talk about it. Let's go upstairs." Claire also sensed Sherman's impatience and subconsciously softened her tone.
However, behind Sherman's back, she could not help but bite her lip tightly.
'How could that woman catch his eye? How did she make him see her differently?' thought Claire.
She always believed that whatever happened between them-good or bad-was their business alone, and that there would never be a third party involved.
Sherman had always been indifferent to other women. Thus, Claire had always been confident that one day, she would return to her place by his side.
However, she actually felt a sense of crisis when they talked about Rita. He was not immune to the charms of other women after all.
'Seems like I need to get to know this Rita better, but for now, I'll have to drop this matter."
She walked a few steps quickly, then looped her arm through Sherman's again.
Claire's voice was unusually sweet. "Back when I was still living abroad a few months ago, I heard that this movie was very touching, but I didn't have time to watch it. Now that it's released here, I finally have time..."
Meanwhile, Rita deliberately stayed at home longer than usual. She wanted to test Karen.
The Russell family had always valued silence at the dinner table, but Rita rarely came back to eat with them, so Vince was happy to have more interaction with his daughter.
"Dad, have you heard of someone named Esmond Parr?"
Karen's hand, which was holding a fork, trembled. She dropped the spoon onto the table. The impact made a crisp sound.
Vince turned to her, looking puzzled. "Ah, sorry. I accidentally dropped the spoon. Pansy, could you please bring me another one?"
